Why professionals choose us
The features and principles that set Reputation Scorecard apart from every alternative.
A score that goes beyond social mentions
Social mention monitoring tells you how often your name appears online. Reputation Scorecard tells you what those appearances mean for your professional standing, across eight dimensions: digital footprint, thought leadership, social proof, Privacy Risk, background checks, personal associations, professional conduct, and credibility. Mention count is just one input.
Scans sources that social tools miss entirely
When an investor or employer runs due diligence on you, they look at public records, court databases, regulatory filings, and professional registries. These sources do not appear in social mention feeds. Reputation Scorecard monitors them because they are where professional reputation is actually won or lost.
GDPR-first with EU data residency built in
Reputation Scorecard is hosted exclusively in AWS eu-central-1. Your data never leaves the EU, and you have full legal erasure rights built into the product. This is the standard for all users, not an enterprise add-on.
Background check profile monitoring
Personal brand monitoring platforms do not check what a background screening firm would find about you. Reputation Scorecard monitors the data sources that background check companies use, so you know what a prospective employer or board recruiter will find before they do.
AI Snapshot shows what language models say about you
More professionals than ever are being assessed using AI-generated summaries. Reputation Scorecard shows you exactly what major AI tools say about you when asked, so you can see and respond to your AI reputation, not just your social mention count.
Privacy exposure detection alongside brand monitoring
Social monitoring tools track what people say about you. Reputation Scorecard also tracks what data brokers, people-finder sites, and public records expose about you. That data is often more damaging than any social mention.
I had been using a personal brand monitoring service for two years. It told me my mentions were growing and my sentiment was positive. Then I was short-listed for a board role and the recruiter mentioned finding something in my public records that concerned them. The monitoring tool had never flagged it because it only watched social channels. Reputation Scorecard found it in the first scan.
